Complaining about Windows Vista is a national past time on Internet forums these days. Windows Vista 'costs too much', 'has onerous product activation', 'requires too much hardware', etc. These complaints are often followed up by a very simple boast: 'I'm just going to switch to Linux'. But in today's landscape, how viable is that statment? Is the threat to switch to Linux an empty one, or is it entirely possible?"

Seriously, I want to see more Linux ads here. Novell has some. Where are they?

Ain't it cool that Microsoft is paying for all these pro-linux comments. Let them waste money on ads, i removed the last Microsoft software from my home in 2003, and i see more and more friends do the same.
